Gardner Fire Chief Greg Lagoy spoke to us about the current operations of the Gardner Fire Department, future planning and possible funding opportunities, preventing and surviving fires, how the Mutual Aid system works, fire equipment, future expansion needs, the open burn permit process, fire education, fire calls, and the ongoing mission of the Gardner Fire Department.
The Gardner Fire Department has 40 firefighters with a minimum of 8 on duty at any time. The Gardner Fire Headquarters is about 50 years old and the Department is outgrowing the building. “We’re pretty cramped for space. Moving forward there’s going to be a need to look at the facility to see if it’s meeting the mission or if we need to expand or replace it. ” The City has asked if the State could explore providing some of the funding.
